Samsung improves Android face-unlocking with “Blink if you’re human”

One of the novelty features in Android 4 is the “Face unlock” feature which appeared to work quite well, until people started to realize you could easily fool it with a simple photograph. However, Samsung has upgraded this feature to be a little more foolproof by making you blink to prove you’re a human being as it’s pretty difficult to make a photograph blink.

It’s probably not going to be foolproof, but still it’s an improvement from a manufacturer, which is actually beneficial, before we see iris scanners in our phones.
